The Justice Department attorneys prosecuting Roger Stone -- who no longer work under special counsel Robert Mueller -- defended the special counsel's investigation of President Trump, saying it inherently did not hamper his ability to lead the country

The argument came amid a series of filings Friday night in Stone's case, in which prosecutors pushed back on the longtime Trump ally's legal attacks on Mueller and the criminal charges he faces. Stone has pleaded not guilty to the charges against him and asked the court to dismiss them.

Stone also argued that his criminal charges should be before a different judge because they had little to do with a case Mueller brought against several Russians who allegedly hacked the Democratic National Committee. Those Russians, who are military intelligence officers, have not appeared in court in the US or been apprehended.

ChrisCuomo In cahoots.

When half the country think their president sold his soul to a foreign power? You're goddamn right it gravely hampered his ability to lead the country.

Deep state is still at it. Clean house, DOJ!

Totally true because he is a superior leader. We shud consider leader for life if you agree please retweet

Robert Mueller

Trump spends more time tweeting+ Golfing that running 🇺🇸

realDonaldTrump

ChrisCuomo It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that of course it has hampered his presidency.

Oh ok, well then it’s settled

If the Congress is not going to read the Mueller’s report ot they dont want to use it to close the investigation, because they dont like the outcome, the American People want the $25 million back!

ChrisCuomo Poppycock! Only Donald Trump could have survived such an onslaught. Enough excuses!

How can that be measured How do they know what he could have done over and above what he did? OF COURSE this affected his ability to lead. TWO YEARS OF HATE AND ATTACKING our POTUS would hinder ANYONE. Absurd conclusion.

BS. This is too stupid to say out loud.

Not true. Common sense says that. Assume it is true. An ongoing investigation into HRC & DNC servers & emails, millions spent on dossier, FISA warrants & spying on Americans with Fox News publishing applicable leaks will not hamper the left in its quest for a totalitarian state.

ChrisCuomo No it didn’t stop him from vacationing and golfing.

And that’s a bunch of bullshit.

Hamper the idiot. I don’t think so.

I am always incredulous when people offer opinions on things that cannot possibly know.

Um realDonaldTrump actually has to LEAD the country before he can say it’s hampered his ability.

Fake news. Nobody's watching. Low, low, very low ratings.

Another absurd CNN comments from unnamed prosecutors. FBI and DOJ are branches of DNC-Clinton Foundation. Their totaly purpose for last 2.5 years is to obstruct Trump Admin.

Not true.

Yes, because the Russia conspiracy theory that tore our society in two for two years was just great for the country. 🤦‍♀️ Despite knowing there was no collusion a long time ago, Mueller sure took a long time running his investigation.

They really are idiots!

Trump should be impeached. He talking to putin even knowing he meddled in our last election. He wants Russia to keep meddling that's treason.

RobbWuddog Correct, if anything hampered Trumps ability to serve it would be his laziness and excessive travel to his properties in which to play golf.

lead the country = executive time

When does this nonsense, STOP ? It is the exact opposite.. What garbage they spew...

It questioned his legitimacy as a duly elected president.

It didn't,none the less he couldn't do it anyway lol lol lol still can't lol lol lol such a sham and fraud!!!

Stay classy cnn. Stay classy.

Btw, ya legal midgets. No collusion = no obstruction

That's because trump isn't leading anything

Geez, I seem to remember that Mueller told Trump in 2017 that he WAS NOT under investigation.... Oh the forked tongue news you spew....

So let me get this straight! This letter was sent to prosecutors today, and all read this complaint, and was able to respond to this letter, publish it, All in 12 hours Just so CNN had a story for the weekend? Definitely bullshit 😂 Yeah ok CNN

89% of Facebook revenue is from advertising but its chopped of data of our hobbits in use by 'advertisers' Personal choice of Mr Zuckerberg to serve criminal international organizations for directing narco-traffic. How much their use of data in 40 billion of FB revenue?Staggering

That is a stupid statement. We all have seen the harassment he and his staff have gone through and it still has all of the Dems locked up and doing NOTHING!!!

Yeah, thats probably bullshite too!! Just like the Great Russian Collusion Hoax you kids have been peddling for three years on your “news network” (snicker, chuckle) 😊

As his approval rates go up, CNN turns up the heat.....THIS IS COLLUSION.

The only thing that hampered tRump's so called presidency is his low IQ (73) and his 10,000 lies. Remember Helsinki? Remember condoning murder? Remember kidnapping babies and putting them in cages? Remember his tax scam on working American families?

An unelected Clinton Attorney who worked for Mueller in an attempt to overthrow an elected president says no worries. What we did didn't affect his ability to lead the country.

Lawyers covering for lawyers how predictable....

Bill Clinton still was an effective President while under investigation. Trump is so oooooooo guilty it occupies all of his attention.

Oh yeah? What about the president's ability to negotiate with Russia, NK and Venezuela?

The Justice Department attorneys prosecuting Roger Stone -- who no longer work under special counsel Robert Mueller -- defended the special counsel's game of clue of President orange man, saying it inherently did not hamper his ability to lead the country

Can't wait for the real collusion story to drop.
